1. I know the politicians are too craven to do this in an election season, but in a moral world the U.S. Senate would pass a resolution of censure against JD Vance His open embrace of racist lies and doubling down with Hitler-flavored falsehoods about immigrants and disease...

Think about that…when he claimed to be heroically moving home to improve the country, Vance picked THE issue he knew was most roiling Ohio lives and families, and used THAT as his cover story when he was actually focusing his time on getting politically positioned. 16/

New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories. propub.li/3N7xPgN

For only the second time in our 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is Kamala Harris. | Editorial bit.ly/4daH36q

This guy was just platformed on the New York Times op-ed page

Will Bunch Yup. Driftglass , Guardian of Inconvenient History and I didn’t need that video to call his presence there an obscenity. Going on “white Jesus and Santa” lady’s podcast wasn’t a sign? C’mon. The racism on the Right JUST IS. You vote for that you’re okay with white supremacy. PERIOD.

Oh look, a policy Kamala Harris worked on that will have real world benefits for senior citizens, surely the media will give this the attention it deserves 🙃

This is the first step of the way out. Concentrated power should be unwound, but a sane steward would be preferable to the existing situation — and banks and shareholders listen to such offers.

The news system we have is not designed for human understanding. It's designed to produce content every day. That's one part of the reason.

Rupert Murdoch is in court trying to change the terms of his agreement with his children so he can coronate Lachlan, his most conservative offspring, because James wants to pull Fox back to reality. And Bill Barr is representing him. Meanwhile…

The tone coming out of Trump/Vance today has been utter desperation. Trump is making up nonsense about how he'll cut car insurance rates in half, and Vance is hammering the fake Haitian pet eating story while saying stuff like this. Maybe they got some bad internal polling?

Smart politicians know how to stay on message, but when Kamala Harris does exactly that, POLITICO pulls out the snark and says she “refuses to veer off script.”

Host: How would this work if a state bans IVF? Vance: I think that's a ridiculous hypothetical Host: You voted against a bill to protect IVF access

How stupid can he be?

Just when I think I can’t be radicalized further on the Trump abortion bans Lawrence O’Donnell cries on the air. God dammit! #stabby 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Protest in front of the ⁦The New York Times⁩ building. “Stop Sane-Washing Trump!”

J.D. Vance outright lied to his MAGA crowd yesterday. We know that's par for the course. The lies get repeated on rw media - who don't play the correction. Lies are poisoning our country. RW media is growing and the poison continues to spread. Restore media conglomeration laws!

Andrew C Laufer, Esq The New York Times I love to see this. People are getting sick of Trump, MAGA, and the MSM. I love being part of this movement. We are all finally standing up to what is right and putting our country over politics. Still a lot of work to do and a long way to go, but I’ll take the progress we are

Here’s POLITICO sane-washing JD Vance. He didn’t say he’d continue to “share” stories like the Ohio cat-eating hoax. He said he was willing to “create” stories like that. He used the word “create,” not “share.” Big difference.

I believe credit goes to independent journalist Aaron Rupar for the term "sane-washing" (or "sanewashing") re how news orgs tend to clean up Trump's words to help make his messaging sound more coherent & logical, even when it is not. Sane-washing serves as a campaign gift to him.
